Here, for as much as M. Harding hath purposely made mention of the Popes riding in his Pontificalibus, and the Solemnity, and Pomp thereof is known to few, it shall not be impertinent, briefly to disclose the order thereof. Thus therefore it is written in the Ceremoniarie of Rome:¹ Sic Papa equitat in Pontificalibus in aliquam Civitatem. Cardinales descendunt ex equis, & accedunt reverenter ad Papam, & osculantur illi pedem. Episcopus Civitatis accedit ad Papam cum debitis reverentijs, & offers illi Crucem osculandam: quam Pontifex reverenter, cum Mitra tamen, osculabitur. Non enim commodé poterit ei abstrahi equiti ab ⟨p. 294⟩equestribus. Miracles. Si tamen placuerit & Mitram deponere, non erit inconueniens. Deinde Praelatus incipiat Antiphonam, Ecce Sacerdos Magnus: Thus the Popes Holiness rideth into any City in his Pontificalibus. The Cardinals light from their Horses, and come reverently unto the Pope, and kiss his foot. The Bishop of the City cometh likewise to the Pope with dew reverence, and offereth him the Cross to kiss: which the Pope shall kiss reverently, keeping on his Mitre notwithstanding. For while be sitteth on horse back, his horsemen cannot very easily take of his Mitre, and set it on again. Howbeit, if it shall like him to put of his Mitre, it shall be no great inconvenience. Afterward the Bishop shall begin this Anthem, Behold the Great Priest. And so he pricketh forth in his Pontificalibus.

Here, for as mutche as M. Hardinge hath purposely made mention of the Popes ridinge in his Pontificalibus, and the Solemnitie, and Pompe thereof is knowen to fewe, it shal not be impertinente, briefely to disclose the order thereof. Thus therefore it is written in the Ceremoniarie of Rome:¹ Sic Papa equitat in Pontificalibus in aliquam Ciuitatem. Cardinales descendunt ex equis, & accedunt reuerenter ad Papam, & osculantur illi pedem. Episcopus Ciuitatis accedit ad Papam cum debitis reuerentijs, & offers illi Crucem osculandam: quam Pontifex reuerenter, cum Mitra tamen, osculabitur. Non enim commodé poterit ei abstrahi equiti ab ⟨p. 294⟩equestribus. Miracles. Si tamen placuerit & Mitram deponere, non erit inconueniens. Deinde Praelatus incipiat Antiphonam, Ecce Sacerdos Magnus: Thus the Popes Holinesse rideth into any Cittie in his Pontificalibus. The Cardinalles lighte from their Horses, and comme reuerently vnto the Pope, and kisse his foote. The Bishop of the Cittie commeth likewise to the Pope with dewe reuerence, and offereth him the Crosse to kisse: whiche the Pope shal kisse reuerently, keepinge on his Miter notvvithstandinge. For while be sitteth on horse backe, his horsemenne cannot very easily take of his Miter, and sette it on againe. Howbeit, if it shal like him to put of his Miter, it shalbe no greate inconuenience. Afterwarde the Bishop shal beginne this Antheme, Beholde the Greate Prieste. And so he pricketh foorthe in his Pontificalibus.
